Video game enthusiasts are gearing up for some exciting deals this holiday season. With major promotions appearing on platforms like the Epic Games Store and Humble Bundle, gamers have plenty to look forward to as the year draws to a close.
This December, the Epic Games Store is set to delight PC players with its annual Christmas event, where it traditionally offers numerous free games. According to well-known industry insider billbil-kun, this year’s promotion will begin on December 12 and run until the end of the year. During this time, users can expect to claim free titles every day, with the total number likely hovering around 16 to 17 games.
While the specific offerings for this year have yet to be revealed, past giveaways have included blockbuster hits like Grand Theft Auto V, Death Stranding, and Metro: Exodus. The excitement stems from the expectation for this year’s promotion to kick off with either a AAA title or something equally noteworthy, providing great value for gamers.
But that's not all! Currently, the Epic Games Store is already giving away LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, packed with all the beloved characters from the series' nine films, and Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop, both available for free until December 12.

The game has received positive reviews, with many fans singing its praises for its charm and engaging gameplay. Meanwhile, Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop offers players the chance to take the wheel of various buses, giving them control over routes and traffic management.
On the other side of the gaming world, Humble Bundle has rolled out its Lego Worlds Collide: The Ultimate Assembly Encore bundle. This offer is available until December 8 at 6 PM PT and presents gamers with 18 LEGO video games for just $15—a steal considering the retail price of these titles typically tops $419.

This is perfect for fans eager to rekindle their nostalgic experiences with these classic games or for newcomers ready to experience them;
One of the interesting highlights from Humble's offerings is how many of these games, like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and LEGO Batman, are crafted by the developer Traveller's Tales, known for their cooperative gameplay experiences. Many of these games provide joyful, family-friendly experiences and local split-screen co-op modes, perfect for holiday gatherings or engaging playtime with friends.
